“Entity Track” should be extremely easy to make

I just figured that due to the fact that missiles tracks the enemy’s primary cockpit, wouldn’t it be decently simple to make a camera focus a cockpit down? Or even better, an enemy primary cockpit tracking targeting pod PART? This part could maybe make a targetable point that one could hit with a missile or our guided bombs we have made??

*I just suggested a point track TargetingPod part with a screen part display

    Absolutely, though that would also require target leading, which might be a bit difficult unfortunately @CRJ900Pilot

    Yeah. It would also make auto turrets a thing which would be really cool for bombers @shipster

    Indeed, also cameras have an option of looking at cockpit, so it can't be THAT hard for the devs to add a targeting pod can it? @CRJ900Pilot

    OR you could add FT functions that allow us to make auto turrets...

    Or have them track onto engines, because most missiles are thermally guided. However this won't work for all missiles and bombs, but its a start
